Lebanon Syria Israel Peace United States Donald Trump Hezbollah
For decades, Israel and Lebanon have lived under a paradox: perpetual hostility punctuated by temporary ceasefires. The 1949 Armistice created quiet without peace until the Lebanese state allowed the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to operate from its south in 1969.

Warning: the following lines may upset the delicate. Like it or not, Donald Trump keeps rewriting the script. While much of the mainstream media dedicates entire columns to tearing him down, the American president is busy bending global diplomacy to his own rhythm. A single post on X is enough to send foreign ministries into overdrive, forcing ...

Hezbollah Pagers Israel Lebanon
September 17, 2024, will be remembered as a dark day in Hezbollah’s history. Thirty-nine people were killed and around 3, 500 thousand of its officials and fighters were injured in brutal and unusual circumstances: the simultaneous explosion of booby-trapped pagers and walkie-talkies.

September 17, 2024, 3:30 p.m. Like so many other dates, this one once again thrust Lebanon into the unexpected.
